Does it seem like your shift linkages are in good working condition? Maybe they were damaged when you took the motor in and out.

Clutch is slipping, make sure that the rod going from the clutch master cylinder to the pedal is adjusted right. It needs to be short enough to allow the master cylinder to release back and allow the fluid to return to the reservoir, make sure it isn't too long. Had this problem when I did 5 spd swap and when the fluid got hot, it would push on the slave cyl, making it disengage the clutch.

yes even in 5th. I can't remember right off hand which way the adjuster goes, but you need to shorten the rod, so keep that in mind. Just don't make it so short you cant disengage the clutch.

If it happens when the fluid gets hot it could be air in the system,or possibly water.
It might just need bled and use new fluid to flush out all the old stuff.
